  1. OK - I think I know what the issue is, though i'm not sure I know how to solve it. I actually have two different subnets goin in my house, I believe. I forgot that when i set up my server a long time ago, i had to run it off of my google mesh router so that it would be on the same subnet as all my wireless devices / laptop / etc. So i think i need to find a way to pass access through two routers. My configuration is like this: Fiber line into ISP Modem > Ethernet to my Google Wifi Router > Ethernet out to a switch which then distributes out to my server and my desktop PC and other wired devices. That way, when i am on my wifi network, i have no issue seeing the server on the network. If i plug the server directly into the ISP router, then my wireless devices don't see the server on the network. Any idea how best to open a port on the ISP router through to the wireless router and then open the same port through to my server? I added a port forwarding rule for port 5443 to my server's IP address port 5443. So then should i also create a port forwarding rule on the ISP router to the Google Wifi router? Also - fyi - i went ahead and updated to 6.11.1 last night. All smooth.
  2. i reached out to them and they set up a rule essentially the same way as I did and got the same result. They said they have set it up correctly, but it continues to show that it is closed. Anything on the unraid configuration side that I should consider?
  3. I used the Port Scanner and it says the port is closed. Below is how i have it configured. For the port forwarding on my router, i've got it mapped to the static IP of my server, as per the My Servers pop-up error message.
  4. Hello - I have been reading through the forums and see that many people seem to run into the same issue, but I have as of yet been unable to resolve it. The My Servers plugin is up to date, the security certificate has been provisioned and i'm signed in. Everything looks good. I'm on 6.9.2 - i know that you're encouraging the upgrade to 6.11, but I have not done so yet. I have an ATT U-verse gigabit router and i have created a new Applications, Pinholes and DMZ port forwarding rule using port 5443 over TCP. I set both the HTTPS Port to 5443 and also the WAN Port, just in case the router didn't like the two numbers being different. Any other suggested steps?
  5. Thanks Johnnie.Black. Makes sense. So it's ok for it to be physically installed but unassigned when all the rest of the activities are going on, but I cannot assign it as a data disk until the swap is completed. Thanks so much!
  6. Hello, My unraid server was initially set up as follows: Parity - 6tb HDD (a) Data Disk 1 - 6tb HDD (b) Data Disk 2 - 2tb HDD Cache Disk - 500gb SSD Data Disk 1 seems to have failed, so I am operating off of the Parity drive. I just purchased two 10tb HDDs to replace Data Disk 1 and to upgrade the capacity of the Parity drive since the 6tb HDD (a) will no longer be large enough. I understand that I can follow the Parity Swap procedure (https://wiki.unraid.net/The_parity_swap_procedure) and replace Data Disk 1 with one new 10tb HDD drive and then copy the parity information to that drive and then reassign the 6tb HDD (a) parity drive as the new Data Disk 1. Question: During the procedure, when I open the box to pull out the failed drive, can I go ahead and insert my second new 10 tb HDD and add it to the array so that after i run the COPY procedure to copy the parity data to 10 tb HDD (a), I can then start the array and at the same time as the Data Disk 1 is being rebuilt from Parity, add the new 10tb HDD (b) to the array? My end goal is below, but I'm trying to see if it's possible to save some time and not have to open up the box and mess with cable management twice, etc. My server is in a relatively hard to access spot with tight cable runs, etc. I just don't know if Unraid is going to get confused by two new drives being added at the same time, and the various operations required to migrate the parity data and reconstruct the data disk. Parity - 10tb HDD (a) Data Disk 1 - 6tb HDD (a) Data Disk 2 - 2tb HDD Data Disk 3 - 10tb HDD (b) Cache Disk - 500 gb SSD Removed/Replaced - 6tb HDD (b) Apologies if I am missing something very obvious. This is the first time I have had to swap / add a drive since I built my first Unraid server last year. THANKS!
  7. The same speedtest run from outside of the unraid server yields upload speeds of 600-800Mbps, so it isn't an ISP problem. On the playback, if I try to stream a video to my phone (galaxy s10+), for example, while connected to my extremely fast wifi in the house, it buffers constantly. The specific file that I was trying last night was a 1080p 24 fps / 9.2 Mbps / H264 4.0 High video. I had the quality set to 720p, 4 Mbps in the player. That shouldn't be a heavy lift at all for such a fast network with all brand new hardware. CPU core load when playing the media, based on looking at the dashboard, was bout 50-55%. There were no other disk activities going on at that moment.
  8. Hello all, I just built a new PC / unRAID server and got everything up and running this week. Everything seems fine except playback from my Plex server, both in my home and away, has been extremely bad with constant buffering. I have gigabit fiber in my home and consistently get 7 or 800mb download and upload speeds on the network. My server, which has a gigabit NIC is connected via cat6 to a gigabit switch and then directly into my router. The other computers on the same switch are able to achieve the above mentioned speeds. So with that in mind, i used the speedtest plugin to test the connection speed and the results consistently show 6-700mb downstream but only 60-80mb upstream. Does anyone have any idea what would be causing this? I'm hoping it's just a network configuration issue! And secondarily, does anyone agree with me that this could be the reason i'm getting bad streaming performance from Plex? I have a Ryzen 5 3600 6core cpu, so it should be more than capable of any required transcoding, no? Ethtool yeilds the below results, so I know that my network connection speed is being registered properly. Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Supported pause frame use: Symmetric Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Supported FEC modes: Not reported Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised FEC modes: Not reported Speed: 1000Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 1 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on MDI-X: off (auto) Supports Wake-on: pumbg Wake-on: g Current message level: 0x00000007 (7) drv probe link Link detected: yes
  9. Incredibly noob question. I am about to start a new build and have purchased a ryzen 5 3600 / asrock x570 pro4m MB / Sapphire GPU and I'm noticing that they all list Windows 10 64bit as their required OS. I was thinking about setting up with UNRAID and a Windows VM, but either way, is UNRAID compatible with hardware that lists Windows 10 as a system requirement?
